OverviewAI-generated
The proton, identified by the chemical formula H+, is a particle with a positive electric charge of 1. It was discovered in 1920. The particle has a spin quantum number of 0.5 and a parity quantum number of 1. Its isospin quantum number is 0.5, with an isospin z-component of 0.5.
The mass of the proton is 938.27208943, and its weight is 1.0078250319. It possesses a magnetic moment of 2.79284734463 and a g-factor of 5.5856946893. The particle has one hydrogen bond donor and zero hydrogen bond acceptors. Its topological polar surface area is 0, and its xlogP value is 0. Under pressure, the value is 100000000000000000000000000000000000.
